In Vermont the temperature dipped to 30 below zero in East Brighton shortly after midnight.

Many places in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom were in the 20s below zero early Saturday morning.

The coldest spots in New Hampshire were 25 below in Berlin and North Chatham, New Hampshire, while Maine recorded minus 36 near Allagash and minus 29 in Madawaska and Fryeburg.

One of the jetways at the Portland International Airport was frozen in place Saturday morning, leaving passengers stuck on a US Airways-flagged jet for an hour until workers could get the passage way unstuck.

The Philadelphia-bound jet eventually was able to back away and take off but some passengers missed their connecting flights.
